Introduction to Cleanroom Operations

Description

Cleanrooms are an environment where the level of contamination is controlled, specified by the number of particles per cubic meter at a specified particle size. Humidity, temperature and pressure can also be controlled. We’ll explain how cleanrooms came into existence and why they are used. We’ll examine the different classifications of cleanrooms and the standards that define them. We’ll also outline the potential sources of contamination that can occur within the cleanroom environment and how these can monitored and controlled. On completion of this training course, you will be able to:

• Understand what cleanrooms are and why they are needed.
• Understand the characteristics of cleanrooms
• Appreciate the different sources of contamination
• Understand how airborne contaminant particle size impacts on cleanroom classification.
• Appreciate the different standards and regulations applying to cleanroom classification
